and while they're still knocked out back to their home countries a recent report compiled by immigration advocacy groups concluded at least six hundred immigrants were removed over the last five years though there were likely many more than that i mean these are just the reports so unconscious hospital patients are being deported without consent from federal authorities or the court system by private corporations in this case health care corporations hospital corporations so they can increase the bottom line i've. nailed those subsidies those were some of the things i think right i think the hospital should be running our immigration system and in fact i think that they should be running our borders as well they seem to be doing a much better job than our federal government is and you have these permanent patient and i were told. i assume your job here is we're talking about importing sick people we're talking about the poor thing people who are illegal immigrants who are costing our horses and injured in the you know on contributions of dollars that's being passed on to my employees and to your employees in higher premiums
10:31 pm
diminish service sensible separate argue we can debate how we should reinvent our health care is that these hospitals are businesses and we're struggling scrapping them with billions of dollars that isn't isn't that the problem then shouldn't we go back you know before the reagan era it was illegal to build a hospital or for approaching a sort of government all because doing so in the united states operated on a not for profit basis we did not have a problem with cost containment united states we did not have a problem with exploding health care costs because every hospital and there was a national health care and and now we have private for profit hospitals bill frist steady and we have the dollars we have no is caring what else people from all of the world come here to our clinics and our hospitals i wish it was that good or not or we should help the i wish it was true but we don't have the best i'm sorry to burst your bubble we don't have the best health care in the world and we don't have to wait until you won't in a five minutes from now in fact if you're walking juries that in fact if you walk into any modern hospital today the machines you're going to see are made by siemens and and nokia and mitsubishi they're made. japan and the made in germany ok your
10:32 pm
thoughts on this i mean i think this is one of those really unfortunate things that you know we had really hoped to see and i mean by we i mean sort of left the people who had hoped to see some kind of humane and universal system you know that portable care act did not include undocumented immigrants and this is a problem because hospitals who you know by law are mandated to treat these people have to sort of deal with these patients once they're here they're going to get worse what obamacare. well the hope is that the hospitals will have the money to cover those people but i think the sense is as long as we have eleven million people in this country who you know it would be impossible to get rid of them overnight you know we need to integrate them into the into the country somehow and you know they're not going to stop going to hospitals just because we don't like it
10:33 pm
you know they came to the country in an illegal way. and i think the reason that we mandated that all hospitals have to cover anyone who wanders into their emergency room in the first place is because we think that it's really a humane thing to treat people when they come into the hospital and make sure that they get care when they're sick whether or not they can pay this is during the reagan administration but again with that with the with the encouragement of ronald reagan neal i mean isn't an easy solution to this to simply say health care is a right and not a privilege and it's involuntary servitude if you're basically. what the other. three is where the thirty four o.e.c.d. countries are you forcing people to work by saying something is a right instead of a privilege you have a right in the united states to have police protection that doesn't mean the police are slaves or that they're paying defender they're paid and they swore an oath you know we're not talking about the people who are going to pick up. these are volved
10:34 pm
these doctors and police have put themselves in a situation where they are doctors and police are. these are a lawyer says is this so do. people in hospitals and i think there is i think that if you separate the sort of the legality of it most nurses and doctors would care for someone who's sick on their own they should be forced to do it but also involved should they really should be the should they be forced by their c.e.o.'s to take sick people put them on airplanes and ship them off to third world countries like those interesting when you said they were deported against their will because i think everyone virtually everyone supporting it's all their own deported unconsciously yeah and it's unfortunate that they put themselves in this situation it's unfortunate that somehow we're on the hook for a decision they made they they put these hospitals in that situation they came to this country they didn't look at the risks properly i would hope i don't they would be cared for and i don't want to steal one for all those people who came into this
10:35 pm
i don't we i don't wish on any of them certainly not for the children and you certainly don't understand but you're certainly what about those who came here and before they were even aware of what you have been in they get sick if they have anything they have and don't you don't seem to understand the strain that is being put on the hospitals when people just show up for this care so that is what makes them that american i think tom what you're really talking well being about is well first of all as you just sort table it was to support them ahead of time when you're talking about this or that say sions need to be transferred to long dead serious let's take this from the from the international debate and bring it home ok here's a clip from. a lot of this is either l.a. or san francisco i know it's been about. t.v. here it is circles from ourselves dozens of mentally ill patients are being dropped off in the bay area tonight san francisco city attorney launched an investigation.
10:36 pm
published reports claim but nevada's primary site psychiatric hospital put about fifteen hundred patients on a bus and sent them out of town about one third of those patients and that up here in california and b.c. . really only thing where they went to the police to round up the homeless and dump them in yeah yeah we're not even talking about undocumented immigrants now these are these are american citizens you know we're talking american citizens who aren't insured and importantly the really tragic reality of people in america who don't have health insurance. and these are people who do have health care but the cost of the health care is escalating it's against the law it's going to let's be clear what they're doing is against the law and it should not happen why are we seeing any more to rich white executives is what this is about what's to come now with obamacare i mean these hospitals institutions are businesses tom and let's make them not businesses but that's let's go back to the already very good be it did i
10:37 pm
must always be like this when if we had an excellent health care system has had the post office worked wonderfully for over two hundred years until the republicans got ahold of it during the reagan administration that debate has already been had in unfortunately it's not going to happen it's kind of like the gun why not we can talk about explosives that were disposed of all over because it was all your party's policies so much noise right only zillionaires socialized medicine it will destroy our health care system in this country that's why we don't have to like it like it destroyed in thirty three of the other thirty four we see countries that all have as much better outcomes are going to. want to be the u.k. we don't want to be canada we have none of that is the united states i'm right wing crazies in our country. have said that but the majority of americans if you ask a majority of americans it will good but if you like it today say yes. but if you ask the majority of americans just just the simple question should health care be a right not a privilege and states over sixty. yes and everything else flows obamacare is still
10:38 pm
incredibly unpopular in this god durable obamacare doesn't even establish health care as a right not a privilege i mean it's a step it's a step in the right direction but it's a baby step wise what do you call it a train wreck entirely know what in the affordable care act to be fair nobody ever designed it was a train wreck which is winterbottom which is where they have the right to vote for it and i mean with you and people about the provision in in obamacare if you ask them do you think that insurance companies should be barred from you know denying you coverage because you have a preexisting condition people say yes absolutely you know if you know if they if you ask people should be allowed to fail on their parents' health plans until they're twenty five they say yes absolutely be things that are not and popular it was just that people have heard obamacare and think it carrying them or people actually they want to do mandated they say overwhelmingly no and when they didn't you take never this never used exercise and it will cost this much and it will cost
10:39 pm
this much never in the business world by which you know we're going to do something we're going to run some risk as well as one for an hour. if i may go to another topic in february the marketplace fairness act was introduced in both houses of congress is basically says that if you buy something on the internet you have to pay the same sales tax if you walk down the street bought it from a local store local stores are having a big problem with this people are walking in the stores of their cell phones and clicking in often comes from amazon or whatever. and you know you had some insights into this that you shared with me before on the air are you willing or able to share that in short form with my maybe violating a confidence but in this sort of clash of the titans what you had is you had amazon was bankrolling the marketplace fairness act the sort of the idea of nationalizing the collection of sales tax over the internet fighting that was e-bay bankrolling it was e-bay in print and they were basically the advice. hits for all their
10:40 pm
thousands of resellers. e-bay is basically taking a dive and you will i'm not sure how operate in the house because there's still some this tax issues the house doesn't always like the senate making tax decisions or though this isn't raising taxes it's just in forcing taxes but what you will see is you'll see the e.p.a. advocacy will fall away and this is a very good chance it's going to pass in the senate so just to clarify this right now nationwide if you buy something on the internet and you don't pay sales taxes not collected by the seller you have a legal obligation to write a letter to your state at the end of the year or as a buyer and say i bought thirteen dollars eighty two cents of aggregate worth of stuff or this is how much tax i own or here's my in check and nobody does that and so the states that receive the money in billions of dollars is lost and what this bill would do is it would say as with the retail stores the sellers have to collect the money even though it's the buyer who owes the money the sellers have to collect
10:41 pm
the money and you're saying amazon and e bay are going to be doing this with the paper catalog you would with this law you would have a forty page ad on with every miss a pallet in state tax tacked on obviously on maybe or maybe maybe one g.b. hospital where he has developed a software program so they're going to sell to exploit but we have just a minute left i want to get to the larger issue here which is it seems to me that if you've been out and amazon go along with this it's going to make it more difficult for small afternoon to come and that's exactly it is that those are the write offs for breaking up the big companies in the city and their argument for the sherman act one of the bright spots in our economy right now is our small internet businesses i mean the idea of a stay at home mom or a disabled person being able to turn their kitchen table speared bedroom a garage into a global business is one of the break spots of our economy you know what you're going to test it against what you can ask is a lot of going to have to click tracks near my home life and he minute. to collect
10:42 pm
sales tax and send it into the government so i think online retailers will figure out a way to buy it i think so too my guess is that the credit card company supreme court has already said it's illegals they can't make them do it again we will see. neil k. neal thank you to be there if you think you're right that it was after the break america is on the edge of national hysteria and of turning a blind eye to the ideals and principles that our founding fathers fought and died for all explain in tonight's daily tape. we are facing a little problem. because no one thought to drink no good school. no minutes when you feel for. other local what's not enough wealth is a law in the local needs you want a community l.n.g. most will be used. you've just done for
10:43 pm
a matter of artist i was fights about the most fights. fights. fights right. let me let me one wouldn't let me ask you a question. here on this network is what we're having a debate we have our knives out. to do this right it was just a bad thing never again we're in a situation where b. and i don't agree to talk about the emailing me.
10:44 pm
10:45 pm
international airport in the very heart of moscow at assessing risks and threats posed by the keystone x.l. pipeline joining me now for more on that is anthony swift attorney he's down pipeline expert with the national resources defense council anthony welcome back it's good to be back terry to have you with us anthony first of all why is the state department in charge of the keystone x.l. pipeline i thought they did things like negotiate with foreign countries it's a really good question and it's certainly not in the area of the state department's expertise this is a. the state department's ownership of this project has to do with the fact that it crosses an international border it's canadian it's not even oil actually it's got an exemption because it's so toxic and turn that the pain of the oil spill fund
10:46 pm
that that's exactly right it would carry something called tar sands which you know we found seems to have a harder time moving through pipes and when spilled causes significantly more damage so my understanding is that the comment period the state department's comment period and pipeline closed yesterday is true that is true and what happened what were the what were the comments like was that has there been any quantification or or well over a mill the american public sent over a million comments in opposition of the pipeline so that shows how deep the opposition to money whatever it's hard to say they're not they're not i know that some of the folks at a.p.i. have been pushed. for comments but they haven't told how many went in favor of the so long at exxon mobil so something like that ok. why the insufficient review by the state department. i wrote a piece
10:47 pm
a while back that suggested that one of the contractors even the state department hired to do some of the survey you had enormous conflicts of interest is that the case and if so why wasn't that caught. and is this well answer though well you know i should say there was. environmental groups are already pressing to state department investigator investigator general to look at the process this time around and see if there were conflicts of interest with the new contractor that did the review but what we know is from e.p.a. which has expertise on these issues the environmental review wasn't up to snuff and the e.p.a. also found the keystone x.l. was a project with significant environmental impacts in stark contrast with the state department's findings yeah ok so now this in the setup i talked about you know these problems that have a been identified in and various groups saying hey wait a minute stop pause take a look will there be a reevaluation will there be
10:48 pm
a new study is there to be any slowing down we had daryl hannah on the show a couple weeks ago along with a woman down in texas who was trying to stop a bulldozer the i mean they literally cut a hole through the middle of her farm by eminent domain. is any of that slowing down what's the status well they are building the southern route as we speak so this is all focused on really connecting that route to the tar sands in canada this route going from montana to nebraska but frankly we have we were hopeful that there will be a slowing down the e.p.a.'s comments cannot the importance of those comments can't be overstated e.p.a. has a huge role in this process and to some extent both secretary kerry and. and obama have noted the importance of addressing climate change and running a good process so we're hopeful that these comments are going to cause political pressure to re-evaluate the real impacts of this of this project most of this is
10:49 pm
been funded by a canadian corporation right. that's right corporation a trans canada chance at work or. they have presumably spent billions of dollars on this will they have an action of nafta against us or the states. i mean what's what's the consequence of saying no the us well it's part of the us i mean the us has the solvent of already to determine whether and where once projects like pipelines and it's important to note you know if he were proved that would grant you know a trance canada the authority to take property by eminent domain so this is an issue that you know trans canada doesn't have inherent right to build a pipeline through the american heartland and one didn't even under nafta chapter eleven that's right that's right anthony thanks again for being with us and a pleasure thanks again but it's.

you're saying is just your very. last night prior to an initial court appearance from his hospital bed boston bombing suspect dzhokhar. was finally read his miranda rights after already having provided possibly self incriminating information to federal officials the situation in the decision not to initially read him his miranda rights when he was arrested highlights the fact that we as a nation are once again on the edge of national is stereo today some are still suggesting that we have to balance our constitutional rights with security.
10:55 pm
and that it was a good thing we did so by not initially telling. of his joke our sunny of his fifth amendment rights as ben franklin so famously asserted if we're going to go down the road of compromising our rights for security will deserve and almost certainly end up with neither our fifth amendment rights are among our most important because they protect us from abuse of and by the one single institution that we have empowered to imprison and even kill us which is our government the government of the united states is an extraordinary and precious thing from its beginning is a noble experiment in freedom and democracy today but like all governments with the power to grant life and death it needs clear constraints committing horrible crimes even acts of terrorism wrong brutal horrible criminal. which is why it's so very very important that we hold ourselves to the highest standards possible in
